Greeted by a new Switch OLED bundle, gamers are questioning Nintendo's sales strategy. It may not be long until the Switch 2 release date, but Nintendo doesn't seem anxious to cut prices. The highlight of the latest bundle is Super Mario Bros. Wonder and will cost $349.99.

That IS an attractive package price.

One might question who the intended market and/or audience is for these products. If we were to group 'gamers' into: subteen, teen, young adult and adult and look at each group we might find interesting attributes.

Subteen's in most countries can't work or earn any spending money however they are likely to influence those older then themselves to purchase systems & games for their use.

While teens in most countries CAN work and earn income however generally the primary focus in many countries is obtaining their own transportation and along with it freedom of movement. I'm unsure how much expenditure on games and systems they might be open to.

The two adult categories might as well be grouped together. Both likely are able to purchase whatever games and systems they wish for themselves and their offspring. However unless 'well off' it is doubtful if they will purchase multiple systems of the same type including incremental upgrades.
